Ps2 slim beats reguler big ps2

Why should I plunk down $129 for a slim when I have a perfectly functioning ps2 fatty?  Because the slim is more portable?  Give me a break.  I'd rather spend the $129 on more games.shaggygrosser

Exactly. I got a slim one because my big PS2 broke. If it still worked, I wouldn't have gotten a slim.

Yeah , the fatty PS2 rox ............

Of all the things to start a topic on, this must be one of the most pointless ones. No one in their right mind would replace a perfectly working console with one that is exactly the same just smaller. After getting my xbox, all my other consoles were dwarfed in comparison with that tank of a console.meteo_ryte

 absolutely right

I got a slim on monday (my first ps2) and I am quite satisfied.

Edit: I got the silver one btw..looks very cool.

a little touch of better graphics, if you own a ps2 big one regular you should think about getting a slimHandstaKingame

A little touch of better graphics? WHAT!!??!?! Really, is it true? I though the games would look exactly the same... Link plz... How shameful that I wasn't aware that my Slim PS2 runs games with better graphics than my old PS2... Yeah I got and they work. I needed to play online so I bought the slim since I couldn't find that adapter

If you own a PS2 big one regular you should think about getting a slim. Maybe u should think about getting a PS3. PS2 is dead, long live PS3. All those buying an xbox over PS3... U are the worst! I mean do u even like xbox games, the company that made xbox, or just the plain ugliness of the console when compared to PS3 and Wii. It looks better than the original xbox but still it's pretty bad. If u buy an xbox make sure u do it for the games and not for the price... And check out the link in my sig to withness the fact that over 60% of xboxes break. If don't want to play Jaks, GoWs, Ratchets, MGS4, FFs, Tekkens, GTs... Please pick xbox and play those console FPS games. Really, FPS is a genre not suitable for consoles, other than Wii of course.

I have the same good old fashioned fatty PS2 since launch date back in the end of the year 1999, and it's been working on me fine since then (no freezes, I take care of my console and games well). It's a freakin console system, why would you need to upgrade it to a SLIM edition anyway? It's not like your holding it with you at all times, it's sitting right beside your TV anyway.

This isn't the same situation as the DSLite vs DSPhat scenario (in which case the DSLite has more reasons to upgrade towards even if you already own a DSPhat. Getting A slim PS2 when you already own an original designed PS2 is simply a pathetic attempt at staying up-to-date with the latest techno style, like those iPod freaks that upgrade at every generation of iPod releases...)

there's no reason to change ps2's if yours still works. but personally, i like the original ps2 more than the slimBuryMe

Why? The Phat has no built in network adapter, is bulky and the disc tray loads slower than a quick flip top slim. As far as the HDD arguement goes, 9 people owned that thing.

Why would I buy a new slim PS2 when I have a fatty PS2 that works just perfectly?

Try playing for more than 12 hours and leave the console running for another 12 hours. The poor slim might overheat and die.dr_jashugan

Actually if that really happened, then something went real wrong with the small PS2. Yes they do get hot simply because it does not have that big ass fan found in the original model and everything is much more compact thus result in heat (plus its a piece of electronic, which are normal to get hot when used). I've heard that the thing has a fail safe device in an event of extreme heat that the thing would shut off and will function properly if used at a later time.

Ps2 slim beats regular big ps2! I say: NOT A FAT CHANCE.

Try playing for more than 12 hours and leave the console running for another 12 hours. The poor slim might overheat and die. Not the case with Big Fat PS2, cause I have done it and my Fatty just kept on going. 8)dr_jashugan
